The last rumor is that it has been delayed til the Fall or end of the year. Supposedly the supercharger is ready, but they are still perfecting the ECU flash and/or piggyback chip.

The Scion dealers don't even know. I looked at the "memo" that was sent out to all the dealers...it had the most common questions people ask about the time the supercharger will come out, how much it will put out, how much it will cost, etc. The answers weren't really answers. They completely dodged every question. I laughed when I read it and gave it back to the dealer.

I think we'll know when it's actually for sale. No clues.

for most people here, that's "a lot". If you get 200whp, and right now we only have 140ish whp, that's a 60whp gain...I'm not trying to bash, I'm sure there are some people out there who wnat bigger gains, but I would be happy with 200whp on the tC

The tc Sc will most likely do 200 hp to the wheels, and overall like 230 overall

Yeah, seriously, I am getting my tC next week and I keep on asking the dealer about the supercharger package. They tell me they're shooting for fall, but they really don't know. It's on the TRD site too, although the price isn't listed. The dealer says it'll be around 3k (installed) when it comes out. I've read that it will be $4.5k (on the forums), what I want to know is, does anyone know how much the parts will be if you order it direct from TRD and install it yourself?
